4. 18-PORT PANEL INSTALLATION
Telecom Cable (Blue Booted)
0.3 m [1 Ft]
The RCS14 MCC accommodates two 18–port panels.
The RCS36 MCC accommodates four 18–port
panels. If one or more expansion panels are to be
installed, the expansion panel(s) should be installed
first. Panel(s) should be mounted starting on the
bottom bracket.
1. Before mounting the panel, some components
must be inserted into the BACK of the Telecom
bridge/security module. See Figure 4.

To configure Line 1, 2, 3, or 4 as the primary telco line
at a selected wall jack, patch the appropriate patch
panel port (corresponding to the desired wall outlet
jack) to a Telecom bridge module using the
appropriate line selection cord.
To identify the primary telco line available at any given
outlet, the patch cord color will correspond to the
following color–code: (Line1 – blue; Line 2 – orange;
Line 3 – green; Line 4 – gray).
Line 3 (green booted - part number 1479005-1)
NOTE
and Line 4 (gray booted - part number
1479006-1) are purchased separately.
If a specific outlet jack is to be designated for an
application utilizing active switching (Ethernet
network, PBX, etc) patch the appropriate patch panel
port to the active switching device using a 568A patch
cable (Cat 5e, 0.6 m [2 Ft], yellow, part number
219246–2 is recommended).
